- TELIX is a great communications package. Hats off to Colin Sampaleanu
- and company at EXIS, Inc. for the really wonderful job they've
- done...and are doing. Throughout T-FIG and its documentation you'll
- find multiple references to TELIX and EXIS, Inc. TELIX is a
- copyrighted (c) program.
-
- While TELIX is truly a great communications program, like anything
- new, it may be hard for the new user to properly set up. Although it
- comes with most of the configuration settings the way you need them to
- be, changing these can sometimes be confusing.
-
- I've spent some time reading the TELIX users echo available on some
- OPUS/FIDO bulletin boards and noticed that most new users have the
- same problems. Unfalteringly, the same questions get repeated over and
- over again. The typical response from more seasoned users is to, "Read
- the full manual." That's well and good, but if you're new to
- telecommunications, the jargon may seem like gibberish to you. This
- leaves you in the lousy position of having read the darn thing but,
- still not understanding what to do. T-FIG solves that problem.
-
- Also, I can't even begin to count the times that I needed a tidbit of
- info from the manual, exited TELIX, loaded the thing into an editor,
- List, Browse, etc., found what I needed, change back to the TELIX
- directory, and finally, reran TELIX. Now, for those with lots of
- memory, this problem doesn't exist...but, it did for me. T-FIG gets
- around that by providing a quick reference to the TELIX documentation.
- Just take a look at the TIPS section.
-
- T-FIG is designed with the beginner in mind. It allows the new user
- of TELIX to have easy access to the configuration information needed
- to make TELIX more easily used. It's not necessary to remember any
- commands to use T-FIG...it's completely automatic.
-
- In many cases the information you need for the most widely used
- applications is explained in T-FIG. Section 5: TIPS and HINTS
- contains stuff that causes most new users problems. If you have a
- particular problem, it's most likely here. If not, read the RTFM
- (Read The Full Manual)!
